SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
504 PM AKST SUN JAN 10 2016

CORRECTED TYPOS

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS LARGELY THE SAME AS YESTERDAY WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING UP THE WEST COAST OF NORTH
AMERICA...THROUGH THE ALCAN BORDER...AND THEN NORTHWEST INTO THE
CHUKCHI SEA. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE BERING SEA
EXTENDING SOUTHEAST TO WELL SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA.
THERE ARE TWO LOW CENTERS IN THE ELONGATED TROUGH THAT STRETCHES
FROM NEAR BRISTOL BAY SOUTHEAST TOWARD 48N 145W. A STRONG FRONT
BETWEEN THIS TROUGH AND THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN CANADA IS
THE SOURCE OF THE STORM FORCE WINDS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST AND
KENNEDY ENTRANCE TODAY. THE STRONG GRADIENT IS CONTRIBUTING TO
DOWNSLOPE WINDS ON THE LEE SIDE OF THE KENAI AND CHUGACH
MOUNTAINS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

SOME VERY INTERESTING TRENDS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING IN THE MODELS
OVER THE PAST TWO RUNS...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA IN
THE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. WHILE THE SURFACE PATTERN OF
PUTTING A WEAK INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA
INTO NORTHERN COOK INLET IS NOT A BIG CHANGE THERE ARE SOME UPPER
LEVEL DYNAMICS THAT ALL MODELS ARE PICKING UP ON THAT WILL HAVE A
LARGE IMPACT ON THE FORECAST.
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING BUT A SHORT WAVE
WILL MOVE UP COOK INLET DURING THE MONDAY NIGHT TO TUESDAY TIME
FRAME WHICH WILL DIMINISH THE DOWNSLOPE AND USHER IN SOME WEAK
COLD AIR ADVECTION INTO THE AREA. A SECOND SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION ON A SIMILAR TRACK AND SET THE STAGE FOR A
DEFORMATION ZONE TO DEVELOP IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. THERE IS A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THE
EXACT LOCATION OF THIS DEFORMATION ZONE BUT THAT WILL DRIVE
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS. AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE THE MOST FAVORABLE
LOCATION FOR IT TO DEVELOP WILL INCLUDE THE EASTERN SUSITNA VALLEY
THROUGH THE EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA...INCLUDING THE ANCHORAGE
AREA. WHILE THIS FEATURE DID NOT APPEAR ON ANY MODELS YESTERDAY
THE FACT THAT THE NAM...GFS...AND ECMWF ALL SHOW IT ON THE PAST
TWO RUNS MAKE IT MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
BROAD SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW CONTINUES ALOFT OVER SOUTHCENTRAL
THROUGH MONDAY. THE MAIN UPPER WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE LOW
IS MOVING NORTH TO OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA BY MONDAY MORNING. A SERIES
OF WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW PROPAGATE NORTH ACROSS THE
GULF AND SOUTHCENTRAL THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH THE STRONGEST OF
THESE WAVES PUSHING INTO THE KENAI PENINSULA OVERNIGHT TUESDAY.
AREAS ON THE LEEWARD SIDE OF THE CHUGACH AND KENAI MOUNTAINS WILL
REMAIN IN A DRIER DOWNSLOPE SCENARIO THROUGH MONDAY...THEN BEGIN
TO SEE THE PRECIPITATION SPILL OVER EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AS
INSTABILITY INCREASES AND CROSS BARRIER FLOW DECREASES. FOR THE
GULF COAST AREAS...STEADY RAIN REMAINS IN THE FORECAST (WITH SNOW
FALLING MOSTLY OVER INLAND AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS) THROUGH TUESDAY.
GUSTY GAP WINDS SURROUNDING THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA AND
TURNAGAIN ARM WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT...BEFORE DIMINISHING
MONDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...BARRIER JET CONDITIONS ALONG THE EASTERN
GULF WILL CONTINUE GALES OVER THE EASTERN GULF COAST THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING NORTHWEST PARALLEL TO THE SOUTHWEST
COAST TONIGHT WILL BRING WARM ADVECTION RAIN SHOWERS TO THE
BRISTOL BAY REGION...WHILE AREAS ALONG THE COAST FROM THE WESTERN
CAPES THROUGH THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WILL SEE SNOW WITH MINOR
ACCUMULATIONS. THE PARENT LOW STRENGTHENS MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT
AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA...WITH NUMEROUS SNOW
SHOWERS TUESDAY MORNING WITH ONSHORE FLOW. SHOWERS BECOME SCATTERED
AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY FROM THE DELTA REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
LOW PRESSURE IN THE NORTHERN BERING WILL KEEP GALE FORCE WINDS
OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN OFFSHORE ZONES THROUGH TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY BEFORE MOVING NORTHWEST AND WEAKENING SIGNIFICANTLY. AN
ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH THIS LOW ACROSS THE SOUTH-CENTRAL
BERING AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BRINGING SNOW SHOWERS TO THESE AREAS
WILL ALSO WEAKEN AND DIMINISH BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE EASTERN
BERING WILL SEE GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY FLOW TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AS
A LOW MOVES NORTHWEST PARALLEL TO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
COASTLINE. ALONG THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS...A WEATHER
SYSTEM WITH ASSOCIATED FRONT MOVES NORTH AND IMPACTS THE AREA WITH
AN INCREASE IN WINDS AND SNOW. THERE REMAINS HIGH UNCERTAINTY
REGARDING THE EXACT PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF THIS LOW THAT WILL
PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN DETERMINING THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY
BLOWING SNOW CONDITIONS THAT COULD IMPACT THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
TOWARD MID-WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE UPPER LEVELS HAVE THE FLOW SHIFTING TO A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION
UP THROUGH THE COOK INLET INTO THE ANCHORAGE BOWL BY TUESDAY
EVENING. THIS SYNOPTIC FEATURE COUPLED WITH AN UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE
MOVING INTO THE KODIAK REGION WILL PRODUCE SNOW IN THE EASTERN
KENAI...THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AND WILL SPREAD INTO THE MAT-SU
VALLEYS HEADING INTO WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER KEY SYNOPTIC FEATURE IS A
SOUTHERLY 60 KNOT JET STREAK MOVING THROUGH THE AOR WHILE ITS
ENTRANCE REGION WILL FURTHER ENHANCE THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FOR THE
AFOREMENTIONED REGIONS. BY WEDNESDAY EVENING A RIDGE WILL BUILD
INTO THE GULF EXTENDING INTO THE COOK INLET AND THROUGH THE
SOUTHWEST INTERIOR. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRIER CONDITIONS AND WARM
AIR ADVECTION INTO THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA REGION WHICH WILL MOVE
INTO THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL
COINCIDE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AS IT BECOMES AMPLIFIED AND
BUILDS INTO THE SOUTHCENTRAL AND THE INTERIOR OF ALASKA.

ON THE BERING SIDE...A WEAK LOW LOCATED JUST NORTH OF NUNIVAK
ISLAND WILL CONTINUE TO FILL AND DISSIPATE BY WEDNESDAY.
MEANWHILE...A COMPLEX BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO
DEVELOP AND WILL BE LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF THE WESTERN/CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN WILL PRODUCE A SHOWERY
WEATHER REGIME WITH NORTHERLY/NORTHEASTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE
MIDWEEK TIME-FRAME HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. THE MODELS CONTINUE
TO STRUGGLE WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE BROAD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
DEVELOPING OVER THE BERING SEA AND THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN. THIS IS
RESULTING IN THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE BEING BELOW AVERAGE THROUGH
THIS UPCOMING WEEK.
